UrIE1n OF comets.

While agreeing in general with the theory
that comets have their origin beyond the
limits of the solar system, Professor Daniel
KirSwood finds proof, he AYERS, that some of
those Of short periods are minor planets,
whose orbits in the asteroid zone have been
changed through the perturbing influence of
the large planets. The third comet of 1884,
for instance, seems to have been drawn from
the Asteroids by Jupiter in May, 1875.

thirty persons have been ar
rested. The assumption is
that these unfortunates will
either be summarily executed
or deported to Siberia. But
will this stamp out Nihilism ?.
Every victi1n slain demands
afl avenger, and every man
sent to Siberia adds one to
the army Of desperate crea-
lures already established in
that vast colony which will
one day become not only the.
focus of Nihilism but the
means Of distinguishing op-
preston in Russia by a san
culinary revolution. And yet
death or exile to Siberia are
the only resources the Gar
possesses in the way of pun
ishment. The former is a
fate which threatens himself ).
the latter is a mere swinging
aside Of the sword which is
ever hanging over his head.

AFTER WATERLOO.
How Napoleon Appeared After His Sur
 render to the British.


 Whether any course was open to Ma poleon after the disaster of Waterloo other than that which he adopted, second abdication, is certainly very doubtful. Had he taken the precaution to dissolve the chambers before setting out on the campaign, he probably would have rallied the nation and pro- tracted the struggle. But the cham bers were unfriendly; any parliament ary body is naturally unfriendly to a military despotism. and. at that junct- ure, nothing less than military des- potism could possibly have saved France from the calamity of the Res toration of the Bourbons by foreign bayonets. Hence, unless Napoleon should execute new coup q etat, there was nothing for him but abdication.
 On the 10th of July, 1915. Napoleon surrendered himself on board the Brit ish man-of-war Bellerophon. Of his appearance and bodily condition dur ing the two months of his stay on this vessel we have an interesting account in the narrative of Captain Maitland. who commanded the ship. Maitland describes him as "a remarkably strong, well-built man, about fve-feet seven inches high, his limbs particu- larly well-formed, with a fine ankle and very small foot, of which he seemed rather vain, as he always wore, while on board the ship, silk stockings and shoes. His hands were also very small, and had the plumpness of 8 woman's rather than the robustness of 8 mans. His eyes light gray, teeth good, and when he smiled, the expression of his countenance was highly pleasing; when under the influence of disappointment however, it assumed dark, gloomy cast His hair was of very dark brown, nearly approaching black, and, though little thin on the top and front, had not a gray hair among it. His complexion was a very uncommon one, being of light, sallow color, diff feriug from any other I ever met with. From his having become corpulent he had lost much of his personal activity, and if we are to give credit to those who attended him, a very considera- ble portion of his mental energy was also gone. It is certain his habits were very lethargic while he was on board the Bellerophon; for, though he went to bed at eight or nine o'clock in the evening and did not rise until about the same hour in the morning, he frequently fell asleep on the sofa in the cabin in the course of the day. His general appearance was that of man rather older than he then was." -Scri6ner's Magazine.

CHEERFUL DINNERS.
Agreeable Social Intercourse at Table
 Essential 10 Good Digestion.

Agreeable Social Intercourse at Table
 Essential 10 Good Digestion.
 It is said by medical authorities that cheerfulness at meals is a great promoter of health, and that what ever increases agreeable social inter- course at table is therefore matter of practical importance. In fact, one of the strongest pleas in favor of dinner parties, large or small, public or pri- vate, is the fact of social intercourse at and after dinner being favorable to health. It is pronounced by high au- thority that solitary meals are decid- edly difficult of digestion; that there is no situation in which digestion goes on so favorably as dur ing the cheerful play of sentiment in the after-dinner small-talk of a genial social or family circle. More than this, the merrier the assembly, the better their digestion. Laughter, says famous doctor, lis one of the greatest helps to digestion with which 1 am acquainted; and the custom pre- valent among our ancestors of excit- ing it at table by testers and buffoons was founded on true medical prin- ciples; what nourishlnent one receives amidst mirth and jollity will certainly produce good and light blood"
 It is upon this rule (though without knowing that there is any rule in the matter) that people usually act. They make any excuse first to have the meals, and then to collect at them pleasant and cheerful companions; or, if those companions be not naturally of cheerful temperament, they make them so by a good dinner, which, when skillfully managed, acts directly upon the mind, and changes the very nature of man. Entice miser to charity feast, and his contribution will be lib- eral. At public dinners, discontented patriots have been heard to utter the most loyal speeches; at private ones, bitter enemies have shaken hands It is almost impossible for any one to re- sist the conciliating influence of the genial cheerfulness which is manifest ed at social board surrounded by agreeable companions.-M F. Ledger.

The Troubles That Beset the Travelling
 American in Foreign Lands.

The Troubles That Beset the Travelling
 American in Foreign Lands.
 A person speaking only the English language may meet with amusing in- cidents while travelling in Europe. For example, an English clergyman stopping at Swiss hotel, desiring ink. got out his ''phrase book" looked it carefully through to find the French word for ink, and failing in his search, concluded to ring his bell and ''sail in on his English" The chambermaid came to the door and he said: twill you bring me some inkP" She stood statue-like, and he repeated, "Ink!- Ink!-Inkr' She closed the door, but very soon returned and asked him partly in French and partly in English, whether he would have it warmed. Again, on one occasion, 1 gave a rail- road conductor in Germany a small silver coin, in order to have the con- partment we were in all to ourselves.
 After riding for some distance we came to station where he was re- placed by another conductor. Before leaving, he came, opened our door and said something to us in German. Sup posing he desired to see our tickets, I extended my hand with them, at which he shook his head. We then thought we must change cars again, having ridden at least twenty miles without doing so, and all rose up, at which movement he a second time shook his head. We next decided that it cer- tainly must be time to have our bag gage vised, since at least four hours had elapsed since the last examination, and we accordingly pulled down our valises and started for the door, where upon the conductor not only shook his head, but pushed us back and shut the door.
 We afterward learned that he, through innate politeness and in re- turn, no doubt, for the small silver coin had given him, was simply en-. deavoring to bid us goodbye. " While going up the Rhine we saw four English gentlemen on the deck sitting together; they called a waiter and or dered lemonade for four.' The waiter went away, was gone nearly half an hour, and at last appeared with ham and eggs for four. Nor was he astray as to the sound of the order, different in nature as were the viands he brought, as anybody with a bad cold will perceive, if he will repeat the words ''ham and eggs" and "lemon- ade'' alternately.-Americas MGga- zi'1e.
